"... all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow"  -Leo Tolstoy

 
 

BelleYogi was born in 2017 as a platform dedicated to sharing my yoga services and celebrating the beauty of this practice. 

Growing up, my family lovingly called me Belle, inspiring the name BelleYogi. With a background rooted in dance, I have devoted more than two decades to movement practices. Living in New York City unveiled the transformative power of yoga, offering relief from urban stress and bringing balance to my life. This discovery inspired a deeper dive into the practice. 

I earned my 200-hour RYT yoga certification while managing and teaching at a local Barre studio. Driven by a passion for continued learning, I went on to complete additional certifications in Aerial Yoga, myofascial release and asana, Yoga Wall, cycling, and strength training. My training also took me to New York and Switzerland, where I studied BodyART—a unique movement modality.

To deepen my practice and understanding of yoga and meditation, I completed my 500-hour RYT and Vishoka Meditation training at the Himalayan Institute under the guidance of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait and other respected teachers. Most recently, I completed a Prenatal Yoga Training with Deb Flashenberg at the Prenatal Yoga Center in New York.

In addition, I founded a Registered Yoga School accredited by Yoga Alliance - check it out here

Teaching yoga fills my heart with gratitude; it resonates as my soul’s purpose. The profound depth of yoga teachings continually inspires me. Beyond the yoga studio, you might find me at a pilates or fitness class or immersed in nature, hiking alongside my adorable labradoodle, Maui Bodhi Rama. 

The light in me IS the light in you, namaste
